What's all this Birthday nonsense?
We are all only born once!
Why do we celebrate when the earth is the exact same position as the sun on the day we were born day?

Americans celebrate how many years you’ve lived but in Iran we celebrate the year you’re entering. Which I think is more exciting. So rather than turning 5, a child is entering their 6th year, for example.
You get to celebrate and acknowledge they are entering a next phase. A celebration of growth!
Also does this mean it’s your birthday. If so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Nope, not my birthday.
A bit like the 20th Century was actually 1900 - 1999, I like it.
Also, my wife and I argue constantly about a time.
She thinks the back of 8 is something like 8:05, I point out that the back of 8 is something like 8:55
Also, decimal is not 1 to 10, it is actually 0 - 9. The 10 is a carry into the next column. 10 could represent any base; binary, octal, decimal, duodecimal, hexadecimal etc...
